Emergency Essentials/BePrepared

Wednesday, July 22, 2009

We've moved our bedroom around in preparation for windows! We're expanding one window in each bedroom and replacing all the other windows. This is one of the last things we have to do before we start building!

Basement Chaos


This is what I came home to last night. Marker (permanent marker!) on my carpet, and our bedroom taken apart. The mattress and bed frame are even taken apart so we can't go to bed. Needless to say, I had to take a picture of the craziness. Now I just hope that marker comes out!

Cousin's Sleepover 2009

As you can see, we had tons of fun this last weekend! All the cousins came over for a sleepover (Tye and Lauren came for a few hours) on Saturday night. We had a fashion show of all my old prom dresses (and that one is NOT my wedding dress) and Jacob even had a few things for the boys to try on.
Later, before bed, we did some karaoke. Jacob had to get up early the next morning, and I guess he thought it would be fun to take pictures of us all sleeping.

Camping

So I know you all think I hate camping...but I don't. We went again this weekend with my family this time up to ol' Lodgepole. It's the place we've been going since who knows when (Vickie says 40 years). Apparently they were coming up here when my dad was a toddler so that just tells you how long we've been going :). Anyway, I love Lodgepole and being with family. Any chance I get to be with everyone I take! We had so much fun with everyone, especially Jacob, who spent all the time playing with the kids and helping them build rock houses and even a swing out of a rope! Kyra was in love with Jacob the whole time; I hardly got any time with him without her. We played cards and dice and sat and talked around the fire. We even ventured out to Strawberry to take a look. We mostly just waded and skipped rocks. It was so much fun and I loved every minute and I'm sorry we had to leave! Thanks everyone for making it so much fun for us and we hope we can come next year! In the mean time, maybe we should consider a cruise to get everyone together again...
